The right pair of goggles will eliminate glare and provide excellent eye and face protection for any rider during various weather conditions.

On clear days, goggles can cut the harsh glare caused by the reflection of the sun off of snow and ice and provide a barrier against dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays. In inclement weather, they can block sleet, snow and biting winds from pelting the sensitive eye area of your face and causing you to squint.

Skiers and riders are especially at risk to UV rays. The wide expanse of snow that blankets the slopes provides the perfect reflecting board for UV rays to do damage to your eyes.

It's important to choose a pair of goggles that block out 100% of UV rays and to wear your pair in all types of lighting conditions.

If goggles are listed as passing the ANSI Z87.1 Impact Standard Test, the goggles will have completed and passed an impact test where a 1" diameter ball is dropped from 50" onto the front of the goggles. This is a commonly used test in ensuring maximum safety while on the slopes.

Fogging can be anything from an annoyance to a serious safety hazard that can obscure your vision. Manufacturers are continually creating new strategies to help prevent fogging. Here is a list of some common anti-fogging technologies available:

Fans

Higher-end goggles will have small, built-in fans to circulate air through the goggles and prevent fogging

Vents

Wider vents allow for better air flow

Wider vents will allow more cold air in and your face will get colder in lower temperatures

Reduces fog

Double Lenses

Trap a layer of air between two lenses, creating an additional barrier to moisture

Anti-Fog Coating

Applied directly to the inside surface of the lenses that prevents heavy fogging

Focus on which type of straps and buckles can be adjusted to easily fit your face. Your goggles should be secure enough to create a good seal that will keep out moisture and cold. Other fit considerations include:
